As for every LDR release, I'll wait to hear it in the morning while I'm out for a walk in the woods by the lake... at this point it's a tradition! I feel like this time the landscape will particularly suit the album! 

And I'll probably put on my red flannel shirt too, just because :xgiggle:

Pretty sure he's singing Flower of Scotland (bc it looks like the Scottish flag)

Thanks. I knew it sounded like an anthem, but couldn't really catch the words

I already love this album omg. But at the same time I feel like I haven’t even began to absorb it yet. Tbh I’m surprised how Beatlesy this album is. Like this and Let It Be would be such great albums to listen to together. If NFR was more Beach Boys, COTCC is definitely more Beatles. And I was relieved she wasn’t actually trying to emulate Joni on any songs because she’s already comparable to her naturally without trying. I was a little nervous because people said she was trying too hard to be Joni on this album, but thankfully that couldn’t be further from the truth. Artistically, the title track, Tulsa Jesus Freak, and Yosemite are the most Joni-esque songs on the album by far. But even those three are much more Beatles than anything else. Also some heavy Springsteen vibes on Wild at Heart and Dance till We Die, especially their choruses (I can’t wait to hear his opinion). But then the breakdown in DTWD is so Beatlesy that I’m convinced there’s a Beatles song with a similar sounding breakdown that I can’t think of at the moment but I can almost hear Paul wailing to the same rhythm in my head idk. The most Beatles-esque song is definitely Dark But Just a Game, like it’s soaked in every Beatles element possible. Sonically, it’s like if you made a bot listen to every Beatles song then made them create their own lol. Not All Who Wander Are Lost has that soft twinkly feeling with angelic harmonies that reminds me a bit of both Across the Universe and Mother Nature’s Son. Yosemite is like if Because, Within You Without You, and Strawberry Fields Forever had a baby then you sprinkled it with extra fairy dust. And I love how in both TJF and Yosemite, she references not being a candle in the wind, which ties to the Tammy Wynette name drop since she actually has a song “(I’m Not) A Candle in the Wind” so it’s like she’s really in her Tammy Wynette phase. Also Nikki sounds so much like someone on Breaking Up Slowly, but I can’t put my finger on it. I’m positive she sounds like someone from a musical, but I can’t think of which musical it could be lol. And omg on For Free, Weyes does really sound almost just like Joni Mitchell, like I had CHILLS the first listen, and Zella sounds almost like Melanie (Safka), so it was like Lana travelled back to 1969 to do a folk ladies singalong. The only thing is Weyes Blood’s voice is almost too perfect. It’s so smooth and steady and strong that it almost sounds too good to be Joni, like it lacks the human imperfections of Joni’s voice. And that’s a compliment too, it’s just a tad jarring after a couple listens because I’m too familiar with Joni’s voice and how it kinda cracks in places or goes a little off the rails sometimes but Weyes’ voice is like if you took away Joni’s cigarettes and gave her a professional vocal coach lol. And as much as I love the clarinet in the original, I’m actually glad they didn’t include it because it does lead right into another song, so it would’ve sounded too open-ended and awkward to conclude the album like that. And I love how Lana actually says “not all THOSE who wander are lost” in NAWWAL since that’s the actual quote from the books. I’ve always wondered if it was misquoted on everything due to copyright, so maybe that’s why the song title had to be the famous misquote too. But it was nice knowing that she truly was quoting Tolkien and didn’t just see it on a bumper sticker. I honestly feel like the entirety of “The Riddle of Strider” thematically matches the album as a whole so perfectly. And thinking of Tolkien, maybe it’s just because Yosemite follows NAWWAL, but Yosemite makes me think so much of Beren and Lúthien. I can almost see them dancing under the stars in the forest of Neldoreth while it plays. And Yosemite also truly does feel like the soul sister to Joni Mitchell’s Jericho. I listened to them back to back and I just felt so peaceful and hopeful and a little melancholy but in a comforting way. Also I didn’t find White Dress all that sad. It’s nostalgic and melancholy but in a wistful way. Not really happy either though either. I mean, if I was really sad while listening to it, the song would be way sadder, but that’s the case with most Lana songs. The album overall feels very wistful and happy and carefree, like she’s embracing freedom. In a way it’s like the polar opposite of Joni Mitchell’s Hejira, truly more of a fun chaotic DJRD type album for sure. Actually there’s a few moments on COTCC that feel almost like thematic parallels to moments on DJRD as if they were fishing from the same creativity pond again. But sonically, the Joni album it’s probably closest to is Clouds, very sparse and full of layered harmonies with herself. But the albums it reminds me most of are The Beatles’ Let it Be, Joan Baez’s David’s Album, and Bruce Springsteen’s The River. And idk if this’ll change, but at this point, Violet is still my favourite, but Chemtrails might be a close second. Sorry for writing an essay, I just had a lot of thoughts. :kiss2:
